Students for a Free Tibet
University of Arkansas Chapter
Organizational Meeting
Wednesday November 1, 2006 at 4:00 pm
Old Main 203

Students for a Free Tibet (SFT) works in solidarity with the Tibetan people in their struggle for freedom and independence. We are a chapter-based network of young people and activists around the world. Through education, grassroots organizing, and non-violent direct action, we campaign for Tibetans’ fundamental right to political freedom. Our role is to empower and train youth as leaders in the worldwide movement for social justice.

The University of Arkansas chapter of SFT has been inactive for at least a year-and-a-half.  The purpose of this meeting is to elect officers, discuss the constitution, and other activities necessary to reactivate the local chapter.   Faculty Advisors are Professor Sidney Burris and Geshe Thupten Dorjee.
